It makes me so happy that this went to a real picker! So many beautiful instruments just sit behind glass in a collectors vault. Excellent work, Jerry! I can’t wait to see Caleb build some mandolins and flat tops.
Absolutely brilliant!! Amazing talent! Unbelievable talent! I watched every video of this guitar build in one afternoon, i could not stop watching! Just amazing Jerry! I wish this was not the last guitar ! It is a dying art And what a privilege to watch a master at work ! My hats of to you!! Thanks again Jerry !!
please Jerry, take your time, build another guitar and sell it afterwards, not under any time pressure. I am sure you will find many buyers, but it is a shame to think that such a beautiful handcrafted piece of art will be the last to go out to the world. and the joy you see in the eyes of the new owner is a heart warming feeling. Well done Jerry, great job one more time and God bless .
I'm literally gobsmacked at how good you are Jerry . Just incredible craftsmanship- thank you so much for wanting to share this build - I hope you enjoy all the other things that are important in your life , but may be every now and again craft another work of art ????
Jerry I’ve always loved your videos. I’ve built several guitar’s. Mine are various Electic guitars and amps. I’ve done a lot of repairs on electric guitars. Finish and paint. I love acoustic guitars. Never built my own. I’ve learned so much watching a master Luther at work. I’m going to buy a list of tools from Stu Mac. I love wood working. I think I’m ready to try my hand at making one. Thanks for the ride Jerry. Wish you the best in retirement. This last build was fantastic. Perfect ending. Got emotional towards the end hearing you and Paul play together. Perfect ending for a perfect build. Thanks for all the memories and showing us all how to make a masterpiece. Take care Jerry. God Bless you and Your family. Your s very good musician ass well.
Hello Jerry, it's not my guitar and I'm 60, but I really felt sorry for you having to see the guitar go, I even got teary eyed. we've all followed it from the first lump of wood being cut up, to hearing it played very well, it sounds fantastic. I'm sorry you had to give it to someone else, you'll just have to build another one 🙂. Wishing you all the best. Richard 🇬🇧
What an absolute joy to see 'shell-shocked' Paul really dig into that beast. Excellent jam session! You really outdid yourself this time, Jerry! Great going!
The love the bottom where the strap button is; I know it's a result of not enough wood for the sides...but it looks great, especially with the Celtic design. Where the neck attaches also looks great with the extra trim.
Thank you very much Mr Jerry Rosa for all of your wonderful video’s and showing everyone your beautiful creation’s. I will be sad to see you take a back seat, But you most definitely deserve the rest. Take it easy Jerry and keep well and all the very best to you and your family for the future..👍🏻
Sir, I am so impressed. You are so humble while building the guitar but in reality you are so meticulous and you end up creating such an amazing piece of musical art. What a finale, God bless you.
Well the sound is great, boy that brought a tear to the old eye, he never stopped smiling, great musicians both of you. What a gift, I just can't find the words that makes ones heart swell when this level of kindness. Saluté Jerry
Wow! I have to say I have watched you build that guitar from scratch. When he picked that guitar up and played it. He played it like iy was made for him. That was incredible. Brought tears to my eyes. Awesome. Nice work Jerry. Nice work. Just perfect. What a jammin player and well deserving of the one of your last pieces of work!
New guitar player here. This entire series was a joy for me to see the creation of such an instrument. This guitar is a shinning example of fine craftsmanship and is a pearl of great value. The jam session at the end of the video was fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
It's really nice that beautiful guitar, went to a player. I bet he will wear the frets out playing it. Bravo. That was a wonderful thing to do Jerry, peace and light...
Thank you from across the pond in the UK! I’ve loved watching you on TH-cam and this guitar is especially beautiful! And sounds amazing! I’ve loved watching the journey! Thanks again!!
That was wonderful. Truly wonderful. Seeing his face when he realized it was his guitar! That playing at the end was fantastic. I was amazed how loud the mandolin was. Thanks Jerry. Very entertaining series.
Wow that guy sure makes that beautiful guitar sing. Fantastic build Jerry I cant wait to hear your Dobro if you get round to it, thanks for sharing all your hard work with us 🇬🇧
THAT...was too Cool.... As a man who doesn't show much excitement myself I could see how much excitement he had when he realize that was his guitar and to see him sit down and play like that and the two of you jam out was wonderful.
Jerry, I hope you pointed out to the new owner that there are a few thousand viewers that helped build the guitar along with you, so he better look after it 😄 Regards Richard 🇬🇧
Jerry we’ve lost so much in our country in the last couple of years. Losing your talent and instrument building capabilities would put the nail in the coffin. Hoping you will change your mind. If not it truly is a sad day,I know we’re selfish but we need you in this time . They really are more than just instruments. You are like the Rush Limbaugh of your craft and Witt an American treasure!
Stunning the smile on mellissas's husbands face said it all, what a surprise , this guy can play and the guitar matched him on every note, what a beautiful rich tone this guitar has, last hurrah it may be but it is in the front row on sound it is huge, with superb clarity, you have outdone yourself on this one Jerry without a doubt, this guitar will be his pride and his joy. Great build great quality as usual, he is a lucky but more importantly happy man. Job well done beautiful guitar with an amazing sound. hurrah for the guitar. Peace and Love from Bonny Scotland.
For many years i have always loved guitar players the likes of Glen Cambell watching u make stringed instruments WOW now i completely apprediate how much perfection goes into making them how u do INCREDIBLE workmanship 👌👌👌
Wow Jerry, that was freaking awesome! Such a beautiful instrument, I gotta say though, I'm kinda sad that build is over, really nice guitar, thanks Jerry!
Jerry, that is is an Awesome piece of work. The tone and volume are just tremendous. Obviously, the appointments are beautiful. I have a hard time imagining how Paul felt, when it was made clear there was No joke. Paul is a great picker and worthy of the guitar, but I think it will be a while before that feeling sets in, for him.👏👏👏
What a journey! So happy to see that it went to someone who could play so well. Too many beautiful instruments go to Collectors who keep them in the case. Not only is it a beauty but there is video documentation of the whole build for posterity. Imagine hundreds of years from now, some future repair specialist will show this for historical reference. Keep the videos in the case with instructions to update the formats and keep the original files. It would have been nice to see Orville Gibson at work and playing, but all we have is a few photos, just to put everything in context. Also put a letter in the case for future repair guy to let him know that everything is a hammer. The family that plays together stays together.
You use the Dremel tool the same way that I use my moto tool for carving. You can really do a lot of shaping things with a moto tool. This guitar has a wonderful sound and the sustain is incredible. You really outdid yourself with this one. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Consider using Bronze Wool. It is softer and you will not get the steel filings everywhere. Used Bronze Wool for years doing boat refinishing for oil or varnish finishes. What a really marvelous sound it has. Hurrah!
Mister Rosa, if you have to put your tools on the shelf, so to speak, you can go out proud that you have built a 'one in a million' instrument for someone whom I suspect is also one in a million. Not often that a guitar can be a cannon, and also so responsive to a light touch. Even the first notes, before the bridge got glued down, had a sweetness that grabbed my attention. Truly, you have made a masterpiece. Well done, sir! Bravo.
The guitar sounds extraordinary, a wee follow up in 6 months to hear what it really sounds like is a must. Sad it's the last but to ma ear probably the best. +1 Jerry. Respect and stay healthy all. PS we all know it's the sound but it looks really tastefully done. +1
jerry, is there anything you can't do well?!! that was simply awe-inspiring. great engineering. great instruction. great wit. great skill. great voice. great instrument build. great pickin'. all-in-all, just fine dang television!
Caleb, great graphics insertions, both the funny and the instructive. I have not seen the drill selection demonstrated, in that way. For those who are unfamiliar, with that process, it was perfect. ✅✅✅
Well what a journey I've subscribed to your channel for years and I'll really miss the content... I could go into a long comment but I guess there's only one thing to say, for all the builds, your selfless sharing of knowledge, inspiration and of course the music...Jerry...thankyou
Looks and sounds awesome! The only bad thing is we won't get to see you build another one. :(
It makes me so happy that this went to a real picker! So many beautiful instruments just sit behind glass in a collectors vault. Excellent work, Jerry! I can’t wait to see Caleb build some mandolins and flat tops.
Almost disappointed that it's over but what a finish. And what a jam at the end.
Absolutely brilliant!! Amazing talent! Unbelievable talent! I watched every video of this guitar build in one afternoon, i could not stop watching! Just amazing Jerry! I wish this was not the last guitar ! It is a dying art And what a privilege to watch a master at work ! My hats of to you!! Thanks again Jerry !!
Jerry I think that’s the best reaction to a new guitar ever , what a fantastic guitar going to a fantastic player. Well done again👍👍👍
please Jerry, take your time, build another guitar and sell it afterwards, not under any time pressure. I am sure you will find many buyers, but it is a shame to think that such a beautiful handcrafted piece of art will be the last to go out to the world. and the joy you see in the eyes of the new owner is a heart warming feeling. Well done Jerry, great job one more time and God bless .
Well said! He's got one more in him; surely.
I'm literally gobsmacked at how good you are Jerry . Just incredible craftsmanship- thank you so much for wanting to share this build - I hope you enjoy all the other things that are important in your life , but may be every now and again craft another work of art ????
Absolutely bloody stunning, that thing really sings out. Amazing job Jerry you should be very proud indeed !!
really enjoyed this, the whole series! and the jam on the end made it special. great stuff Jerry!
She sounds as good as she looks. What an amazing craftsman.
Jerry I’ve always loved your videos. I’ve built several guitar’s. Mine are various Electic guitars and amps. I’ve done a lot of repairs on electric guitars. Finish and paint. I love acoustic guitars.

Lucky guy. He sure burns it up, couldn't have gone to a better place.
What a guitar! And what a player!!! A match made in heaven.
Gob smacked, wow, wow, wow that’s one of the best Jam sessions ever
Bestest piece of geetar and mandolin wrastlin I've seen in ages!!... 🇫🇴👍☮️👏👏👏
What a wonderful instrument- and it’s great that it’s going to a musician who is clearly worthy of it. Thanks, Jerry.👍👍
WOW! I am unable to thiink of anyone more deserving of the Last Hurrah Gulitar. That guy can really pick. What a great sounding guitar.
What an absolute joy to see 'shell-shocked' Paul really dig into that beast. Excellent jam session!
You really outdid yourself this time, Jerry!
Great going!
The love the bottom where the strap button is; I know it's a result of not enough wood for the sides...but it looks great, especially with the Celtic design. Where the neck attaches also looks great with the extra trim.

That ending brought a huge smile to my face. Signed everyone
Damn ! And the new owner is a real deal player ! What a great day !
Sir, I am so impressed. You are so humble while building the guitar but in reality you are so meticulous and you end up creating such an amazing piece of musical art. What a finale, God bless you.
Not only is it one of the prettiest guitars I have ever seen the sound is absolutely beautiful.
Jerry's Last Hurrah makes a flagship Taylor look and sound like a Mattel toy.
I watched the whole series Jerry. Once again.... absolutely a work of art! Great video series! Thank you sir!
WOW... the guitar and the ending jam were AWESOME!
Beautiful Batman bridge lol. A pleasure to watch. Thanks Jerry 🎶🎶🎶
"WOW" is right! What a beauty!
I think that Paul's reaction says it all on this one! The guitar looks and sounds incredible!
Along with everything else you've taught me to appreciate Bluegrass Music. Thanks! 🤓
Nothing in the world like live music....Enjoyed every bit of the series.. Awesome job !!
Well the sound is great, boy that brought a tear to the old eye, he never stopped smiling, great musicians both of you. What a gift, I just can't find the words that makes ones heart swell when this level of kindness. Saluté Jerry
Lovely moments at the end. Sounds absolutely beautiful. Looks stunning. Built to last and be appreciated by player and listener. Fabulous.
Like other artists, skilled craftsmen, your work and end product is priceless. You cannot be paid enough for this work.
Wow! I have to say I have watched you build that guitar from scratch. When he picked that guitar up and played it. He played it like iy was made for him. That was incredible. Brought tears to my eyes. Awesome. Nice work Jerry. Nice work. Just perfect. What a jammin player and well deserving of the one of your last pieces of work!
Better get Caleb on the stick to build the next one! Man, what a demo! The owner needed this gift! Love from NW Colorado. Thanx
First dance with the new girl :-)
New guitar player here. This entire series was a joy for me to see the creation of such an instrument. This guitar is a shinning example of fine craftsmanship and is a pearl of great value. The jam session at the end of the video was fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
Well, you've done it again. Another beauty both visually and aurally.
That boy can play, wow beautiful.
It's really nice that beautiful guitar, went to a player. I bet he will wear the frets out playing it. Bravo. That was a wonderful thing to do Jerry, peace and light...
Thank you from across the pond in the UK! I’ve loved watching you on TH-cam and this guitar is especially beautiful! And sounds amazing! I’ve loved watching the journey! Thanks again!!
Wow he made that Rosa guitar SINGGGGG that’s awesome. Great build Jerry👍🤘
The most unique guitar I’ve ever seen! Truly a wonderful work of art! I enjoyed watching this build so much!
That was wonderful. Truly wonderful. Seeing his face when he realized it was his guitar! That playing at the end was fantastic. I was amazed how loud the mandolin was. Thanks Jerry. Very entertaining series.

A stupendous guitar and a incredible guitar player! Wow!
Wow that guy sure makes that beautiful guitar sing. Fantastic build Jerry I cant wait to hear your Dobro if you get round to it, thanks for sharing all your hard work with us 🇬🇧
It’s amazing to see those strips of wood become such a thing of beauty. It must be rewarding for you to see it played so well.
Best video ever from RSW! Beautiful guitar and killer jam. Congratulations to all involved!
That was the best yet. Certainly the best reveal and best customer reaction. Loved the musical section at the end - you guys can sure play.
THAT...was too Cool....
As a man who doesn't show much excitement myself I could see how much excitement he had when he realize that was his guitar and to see him sit down and play like that and the two of you jam out was wonderful.
Jerry, I hope you pointed out to the new owner that there are a few thousand viewers that helped build the guitar along with you, so he better look after it 😄
Regards Richard 🇬🇧
Man that’s a gorgeous guitar. Glad the dude can play and will use it instead of it hanging on a wall.
Jerry we’ve lost so much in our country in the last couple of years.
Losing your talent and instrument building capabilities would put the nail in the coffin.
Hoping you will change your mind.
If not it truly is a sad day,I know we’re selfish but we need you in this time .
They really are more than just instruments.
You are like the Rush Limbaugh of your craft and Witt an American treasure!
TOTALY AWESOME!! ... Glad to see the "Last Hurrah" Go to picker!! ...Very Good Jerry!

Hurrah from The Netherlands
A guitar is born, from Magic Jerry's Hands.
What a great way to end the series! To hear it given a proper workout.
Congratulations, Jerry!
Wow Jerry, that was freaking awesome! Such a beautiful instrument, I gotta say though, I'm kinda sad that build is over, really nice guitar, thanks Jerry!
Jerry, that is is an Awesome piece of work. The tone and volume are just tremendous.
Obviously, the appointments are beautiful.
I have a hard time imagining how Paul felt, when it was made clear there was No joke.
Paul is a great picker and worthy of the guitar, but I think it will be a while before that feeling sets in, for him.👏👏👏
Outstanding magic finish of that build at all. thanks a lot!
Fantastic and love a Happy Ending Congratulations Mr.Rosa
Fabulous work Gerry,sad it’s over 👍🇬🇧👍
What an awesome end to the build! That's some amazing pickin' there. Beautiful work Jerry and congrats Paul!
Just watched this again. I was tearing up from when he noticed his name till the end of the video. Jerry, you are awesome!
What a journey! So happy to see that it went to someone who could play so well. Too many beautiful instruments go to Collectors who keep them in the case.
Not only is it a beauty but there is video documentation of the whole build for posterity. Imagine hundreds of years from now, some future repair specialist will show this for historical reference.

The family that plays together stays together.
Great sound,great play,great relationship.
Jerry, you've made a grown man cry, congratulations. Great job and God bless your efforts.
Beautiful guitar, and you guys were jamming!!!
You use the Dremel tool the same way that I use my moto tool for carving. You can really do a lot of shaping things with a moto tool. This guitar has a wonderful sound and the sustain is incredible. You really outdid yourself with this one. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Ooo a new word for me...Porosity ❤
Can't stop smiling watching this video. Paul can pick!
Beautiful guitar! Paul's a lucky guy! Love the jam session!
Consider using Bronze Wool. It is softer and you will not get the steel filings everywhere. Used Bronze Wool for years doing boat refinishing for oil or varnish finishes.
What a really marvelous sound it has. Hurrah!
EPIC.super playing as well.
So well done, the end of one era and the beginning for the "Last Hurrah"....As time goes bye-
Wow.......amazing guitar, two great players. Congratulations.
Mister Rosa, if you have to put your tools on the shelf, so to speak, you can go out proud that you have built a 'one in a million' instrument for someone whom I suspect is also one in a million. Not often that a guitar can be a cannon, and also so responsive to a light touch. Even the first notes, before the bridge got glued down, had a sweetness that grabbed my attention. Truly, you have made a masterpiece. Well done, sir! Bravo.
Wow that was a great video I don't know who's a better picker you or Paul great jamming beautiful guitar . God speed !!
Paul
The guitar sounds extraordinary, a wee follow up in 6 months to hear what it really sounds like is a must. Sad it's the last but to ma ear probably the best. +1 Jerry. Respect and stay healthy all. PS we all know it's the sound but it looks really tastefully done. +1
Wonderful sounding and looking guitar! Turns out Mr. Wood is quite a bangin' guitar player, too!
jerry, is there anything you can't do well?!!
that was simply awe-inspiring. great engineering. great instruction. great wit. great skill. great voice. great instrument build. great pickin'. all-in-all, just fine dang television!
Fabulous conclusion to a great build. One of your best. The sound is magnificent.
Beautiful to look at and beautiful sound. Great job Jerry.
I love Paul explored the sound then took of running like he knew she could break the speed limit, could tell he loved the gift, and made music.
The wood in the neck looks so good with those tuning machines!
WOW!!! So very cool!!! I'm sure Paul will treasure it a lifetime! Very well done Jerry!
Caleb, great graphics insertions, both the funny and the instructive.
I have not seen the drill selection demonstrated, in that way.
For those who are unfamiliar, with that process, it was perfect. ✅✅✅
Awesome series Jerry!and shes going to a great home and picker!Cheers
I could listen to you guys play all day. You can tell he going to cherish that guitar for the rest of his life.
Man that thang sounds so bright with good note articulation and sustain 😊
Well what a journey I've subscribed to your channel for years and I'll really miss the content... I could go into a long comment but I guess there's only one thing to say, for all the builds, your selfless sharing of knowledge, inspiration and of course the music...Jerry...thankyou
